I would say the risks are limited. To be clear, the provocation would not be for these visits to continue in the same way they have for decades, but to stop them. What would be the message sent to the Taiwanese if suddenly the French, Canadian, European or even American parliamentary officials and MPs just stopped visiting Taiwan?
What's going on is that China is trying to change the status quo by preventing us...by threatening foreign MPs in order to stop them from going to Taiwan. I think the case of the Speaker of the House was kind of specific because it was, of course, a major visit with a lot of political significance. China used it, of course, to try to change the status quo. For all of the other visits, even though China has been opposing and criticizing them, they have not been overreacting and trying to use these kinds of regular and average visits to try to change the status quo.
Once again, I would say the provocation would be to stop visiting Taiwan, to not keep doing what we've been doing for four decades. All of these parliamentary visits are not challenging the one China policy that each of these democratic states has been implementing over the past few decades. These parliamentary visits are one way to make sure that we can strengthen and deepen co-operation and exchanges with the Taiwanese society, with the Taiwanese economy and so on.
